spain. three of them in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story anger and protests tore across the global muslim community this week in a fierce outpouring against a film made in the states that ridicules islam centered in a region still reeling from more than a year of under arrest it's become one of the bloodiest episodes since the start of the arab spring. western diplomatic missions in businesses have been targets of have been targets of mobs and protesters incensed by what's seen as a direct attack on the prophet mohammed washington has ordered most of its diplomatic staff out of tunisia and sudan after attacks there led to casualties

protests erupted in dozens of countries across the world with clashes happening in europe asia and even australia lions left at least a dozen dead over the last week are these posts leader has the latest from cairo. classes of iraq to meet pakistani says we are watching where if you see one person has been killed and some awesome dozen injured as thousands of people past with security forces not far from the u.s. consulate building in the city now the police fire you warning shots into the a they used tear gas as well as come in to try and disperse. also on sunday with the demonstrations held in various cities across the country in the city of history while hundreds of other local businesspeople mocked lakeport for the american ambassador to pakistan to be expelled they will support the boycott on what you do is goods and services not the fact that some authority is that since blocked access

to this on you tube it is a fifteen minute train out of a film that has been titled innocence of muslims leaving me playing topless photos taken for placement in the united states has since been released although he has gone into hiding also on sunday to meet the needs of up to hundreds of people going to the states to talk to and to marry women and they trust slogans this is only intensifying and to the aggravating american afghani relations this violence comes and while the united states has to do things to move this to happen why women who vote you know people who make it there after the incident to be held the reins of the mind mission for mobilizing in sudan the government to say that they could do it this situation by themselves the demonstrations all already north africa and in the east the approaches happening in lebanon in somalia in one in turkey in gaza

and even in tel aviv they've also pretty good paris where protesters took to the streets near the american embassy in the buildings that you have employed at least one hundred twenty people were detained this weekend off the demonstrations. where does the spawn of. us media or the police force to pick up yes this is how it's nice to. be fine. every. day and every passing day in libya never brings me mind peace to peace and i'm a good bit now the united states has wanted to back away since the one month thing so diplomats and the army's thumbs down as well as holding american citizenship and these who want to this is just me and it seemed to me very dynamic situation to. temples amani i'm not here at the situation will

be calmed down in the coming days. paulus leader is heading up our coverage of the anti us on arrests he's got the latest developments and firsthand reporting on her twitter feed you can find that all is still here underscore our team on twitter. from the pac nationalist forum says the controversial video may have been the spark that lit the bonfire but i'm sure against the u.s. has been simmering for a long time. these demonstrations really are not really directed at the film itself they are a result of an accumulation over the past few months and years the good film right now has acted as the sparkle that really exploded as a result of the failure of the u.s. government to contain what many many muslims are seeing right now as an organized campaign in inside the united states not to be timid speech but an organized campaign to insult and humiliate this religion i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now most of them were spontaneous with the probably one

exception of the attack and the murder of the u.s. ambassador in libya that was that appear to be the work of militant groups on the ground ironically i think them and chris stevens who actually advocated that the united states and nato arm the militants in libya eventually fell prey to the same militant groups on the ground so with the exception of that one unfortunate incident i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now are really spontaneous and the pain and the anger is really genuine. mending relations with the middle east has been a top priority of president obama's administration but now years of work are in jeopardy of coming undone through a single you tube clip diplomats are under pressure to limit the harm done by the film and diffuse the anger felt by muslims are teasing marina portnoy has more. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the

arab world this isn't exactly the type of relationship washington envisioned after barack obama became president i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world the new u.s. leader promised to turn the page and mend relations tarnished by george w. bush's war on terror he even granted his first foreign television interview to al arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate but the americans are now you had a washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a youtube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the

u.s. government as americans were being held hostage by a small group of extremists people here in america think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i think people in. some of these places don't understand this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those unions because that foods american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen destruct. no progress on the peace lebanon palestine i think the spark for it to you know all come out in

violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan you tube was shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling of right across the entire world it's their worst. polls show that we're ninety percent of the pakistanis americans the primary an enemy america's net lot of bloggers and it's made enemies in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe has blurred despite all the time and money washington has spent you see me internet to promote it's a lot of friendly foreign policy the world wide web also served as the platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and seen real

years of progress. r.t. the. u.s. defense secretary leon panetta admitted that washington expects and is preparing for the protests to continue journalist and broadcaster neil clark thinks the u.s. should have seen this coming. remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the us are reaping what is so that sit back to two thousand and eleven the us took nato in the x. x. could act as libya debt and destruction and they've created this sort of violent situation so what of course we condemn the terrible attacks will be us consulate the murder of christy vince and of course the people responsible are those who carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this wouldn't have happened had nato not intervened last year governments losing its grip in libya in egypt and across the region and the us this is the card that's been stoking all this up the u.s. has been aggressively supporting. risings of course across the region for its own interests and now it's a kind of blowback time the u.s. is getting it back and you know i think you know interference is the best way to go

really what are they going to do reaching change again i mean we had this last year i mean exactly what was it take to put it was a stable country the u.s. and nato decided to i didn't mean that in fact if we look across the globe everywhere when they took us to meet has been a disaster look at iraq one million people killed there you go slower because of what we have the ethnic cleansing of serbs and roma somalia chaos and there afghanistan eleven years a war and yet we still get the same or people calling for intervention across the globe when we learn that it just leads to more death and destruction the u.s. has strongly condemned the production and airfare and the anti-u.s. fury un secretary-general ban ki moon joined the chorus of disapproval saying it was deliberately designed to instill bigotry and bloodshed while russia's president putin warned that all governments should work together to prevent religious provocation. if history doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated and the salted ones

start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide blood should get to the region it can fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states in the under one series changes you to should be should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which is that the case with the protests continuing throughout the arab world we've got full coverage on our website our team dot com there you'll find it charting the evolution of the protest post profiles of the former pornographer and convicted fraudster thought behind the production of the film much more and that at our team check it out.

taking a look now at some of the week's other top stories in the financial crisis has led to new calls for catalonia to separate from the rest of spain more than a million and a half people packed the streets of barcelona thursday calling for independence from madrid the country's fiscal woes and perceived interference have contributed to the region's desire to go its own way carlos del close a sociologist at pompei a fabbri university thinks this this could be the first of many such protests. the difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the part of the above a lot is in the government and it's there a lot more aggressively centralist and and it's and there are a lot more aggressive against sort of the autonomous rights that regions like that feel themselves as nations like the loony our the basque region they're

a lot more aggressive in and posing that sort of identity upon that this could certainly. service an impulse to more sort of secession is just secession is i guess sensibilities. the spanish capital saw tens of thousands protesting against planned austerity measures the government set to announce a new package of cuts by the end of september while in the portuguese capital lisbon an angry mob help to the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and fireworks john lackland director of studies at the institute for democracy and cooperation says governments are repeating their mistakes. the basic problem in europe and indeed in other countries of the world is of course that there is too much debt both private and above all a blip and nothing today and nothing in any other future occasion is going to make that go away even budget cuts are not going to make the central problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even meet various so-called

austerity programs what should be done i'm not going to produce a budget surplus which is the only way of repaying debt unless of course there is economic growth and there's a final point this is the european union for many decades not it's played a game of smoke and mirrors and whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional furniture germany's highest court is clear the way for the country to proceed with plans for a new bailout fund the five hundred billion euro fund is intended to help euro zone countries are riddled with debt germany's fear of the project can it nor lend to paying unlimited amounts to struggling states but the judge or a strict of the country's contribution to one hundred ninety billion euros got her back a specialist in law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion is dealing with the symptoms but not the disease itself. the past is an imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aids

i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she's knocked to aden and parliamentarians will continue granting further assistance every time the only way of getting. out of this vicious circle now would be the success of a savings program in southern europe i can see that happen the economic situation in southern europe is dire every indication we have is that it's getting worse if you probably sub wired you will gobble up his government debt too and our limited extent it will take away the incentive for cuts it will not enforce it. and early general election in the netherlands has shown the eurozone is still trusted by the people there with a majority of votes going in favor of two pro european parties meaning the country is more likely to back a german led solution to the debt crisis because our tests are cilia reports i

rethink of some austerity measures could be inevitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed it with maastricht in the netherlands establishing the economic and monetary union later paving the way for the creation of the single currency but today mounting a euro skepticism has spread to even countries considered poor eurozone nations including the very one where it all began so i don't know at this moment what is the best is for europe i have my jobs because of greece. and then other loans it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see greece now in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking on a euro skeptic and brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for

the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party openly challenging the german led a steady strategy for europe well we are protesting against our liberal government you know made to distinction between the rich. part of the problem is you know did you run brussels has a lot of power now and people feel like they have nothing to say about what's going on with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore and we can see in europe. floaters. are becoming less convinced of the rationale of the continued austerity policies and begin to vote for parties who oppose the lord stereotype we've seen it in france we've seen it in regional elections in germany which makes america very worried about to the elections next year in the end it was the center right liberals who claim victory

say and are ready to regain momentum activists kaleb mop and things the anti-capitalist campaign can be reborn in more ways than one. i would say without a doubt one looks at the world right now one looks at what's happening in the middle east and spain to greece everywhere there's a confrontation going on against the one percent so the idea that somehow the us is exceptional and it's just a small passing phase i mean the u.s. is part of the world capitalist economy in the world capitalistic economy is in a state of collapse profits rule and we just get more in. just home foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this exist but it is not utilized for even good so absolutely we're going to see it may take on a different character in an organized labor the chicago this chicago teachers strike that they become more prominent than it was in the early days of occupy wall street that there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies will be closely following the events planned by the occupy wall street movement in new york and other cities so stay with us for more. general

laughable. where iran responds and then the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question the question is ok now you have these sanctions what do we do with these are we going to leverage these or is this a repeat of what we had with iraq where we did a great job of restricting oil sales and then doing well for food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion. russian energy giant gazprom has lashed out at the e.u. for what it claims is blatant political pressure from brussels to get better gas prices the european commission launched a case accusing the supplier of violating anti-monopoly law tuesday the russian government officially barred gazprom from disclosing any information to foreign parties without the kremlin's permission moscow and says it's protecting gazprom from aggressive attempts by the e.u. to get gas discounts the company spokesman. says europe didn't even try to
